Recap: Walz hits Trump, Vance in first campaign stop with Harris

Vice President Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz introduced themselves to a full house with plenty of applause in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.

Harris praised Walz’s accomplishments and set him up for a lightning-fast campaign: He “really does shine a light on a brighter future that we can build together.”

She offered his credentials to a crowd that roared in approval at times.

And Walz drew raucous applause for his support of Harris but also his sharp attacks on the Trump-Vance campaign.

Harris ended weeks of speculation Tuesday by choosing Walz as her running mate.

“Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families,” the Harris campaign texted supporters at midmorning.

Walz called serving as Harris’s running mate the “honor of a lifetime.”
